I'm impressed with the well-designed details of this tent--the included gear loft, well placed stretchable transparent panels at the top of each door, the additional velcro pole attachment points (that can be fastened after setting the tent up), ample outside guy points for adding additonal lines if...

I have had this tent for two years now and taken it out on a handful of trips. I am writing this review now because what It got my friend and I through this weekend was worthy of writing about.

We had two nights way out on the two track staying at a friend’s hunting cabin. My friend and I elected to use the tent to sleep instead of inside the cabin. We proceeded to get heavy heavy rains all night and intermittent rain throughout both days. I used a tarp as a footprint and the included rain fly overhead.

The inside of the tent was bone dry throughout the entirety of all the rain. I am so pleased with how well the tent did, affirming everything I have read about it.

Additionally, I usually take have one other person and a 50 pound dog sleeping in this tent with me. There’s plenty of room for two adults and a dog.

100 Bucks and you get THIS??!! We LOVE our tent. It has survived Rainstorms in remote Florida backwoods where all our phones were blowing up with "Flash Flood" warning for the river we were camping on. Camped 3 nights over Thanksgiving holiday with a day and a half of solid downpour, and drizzly until of course we left, and weather broke. This little tent sets up super quick and easy. We will try a 4" NERF ball in the triangle to keep water from pooling in the top. Seemed like about once an hour a drop would come through from laying in this little triangular spot on the roof. Great tent for the money. Get one, or three.

We've only spent three nights in this tent but have so far been very pleased with it for the price. It is light and compact for the price point while providing ample space for two (though it is advertised as a '3 person' tent) with spaceous sitting space and headroom at the taller end of the tent. The tent takes about 5 minutes to liesurely setup and everything is fairly simple with two identical poles (no fumbling around trying to figure out what goes where) and a short spreader. The two doors and vestibules are great preventing crawling over your partner and providing lots of storage space.

The only negative we have found is the triangular area at the top of the rain fly between the poles accummulates some water. Not enough to big a big problem but something to remain aware of. Also, keep in mind this really accommodates two people, not three. Hvaing said that, we feel this tent was a fantastic value and are very pleased with it.

I purchased this tent about 4-5 years ago and have used it for backpacking and camping all over the Western US. This has kept me dry in multiple torrential downpours (without doing any additional waterproofing, just the factory seam seals) and is light, easy to set up and extremely comfortable (by backpacking standards) for my dog, wife and myself. It has a vent on the top of the fly, a very small "gear loft" that can fit headlamps, phones etc. One of the underappreciated elements about the tent is the color. Many tents come in obnoxious loud colors, but the green/brown coloring on this practically blends right into most of the terrain in the mountains. Overall, I don't think you can beat the price to value ratio...I'm thinking about buying another one just to have in the future if mine needs replacement...but it doens't look like that will be anytime soon.

A note, this tent, like all tents, performs better when it is completely guyed out so don't expect peak performance if you don't use all of the guy lines.

“The pack size listed under specs is 21" by 6". Just curious if this size includes the whole tent (e.g., stakes, fly, poles, etc.). The pack size seems small for a 3 person and packed size is important to me as I would pack this tent behind my saddle for horseback riding and for bike packing.
So the question is, is 21 x 6 inches truly the pack size, with everything in the stuff sack? Thanks!

I haven't measured it exactly, but that's in the right neighborhood when the whole thing is packed down. I usually cycle tour with a one-person tent; this tent is noticeably bigger than that, but I would not have any issues putting it on a bike rack behind the saddle.

Everything is included in that pack size. It is probably a little bigger in the middle, but mostly due to my packing techniques (cram it all in). It isn't too hard to get it all in the bag though. Stakes and poles have their own bags, but all fit in the big one.

The double doors and vestibules are really nice. It does need a footprint as the bottom is pretty thin. I have stayed dry in it through several strong storms. If you guy this tent out properly, it's very sturdy.

Idk the exact dimension but my buddy and i slept. In it on a high country hunt and we both fit comfortably with a little extra room. Were both v 6 ft tall 190lbs. Great tent.

I would have measure, which im not in a position to do currently. However, it is a trapezoidal floor, wider at the shoulders and narrows a bit near the feet. Overall floor length is over six feet, it is a comfortable tent for two 6'1" 200 pound guys. I would try to put three in there.

Thanks. That was my concern. I'm 6'1 205 and wondered if room enough. Thanks for info.

Spec page says "Floor dimensions: 74x89".

The floor is trapezoid shaped with the two sides measuring 89 inches, one end measuring about 74 inches and the other end measuring about 53 inches.

This tent has two vents. One is under the brown triangle on the side of the fly, above the ALPS logo, visible in the picture. That is a screen section, and is "adjusted" (if you can call it that) by the angle at which you guy out that vent flap. Guy it close to the base of the tent, not much airflow through that vent. Guy it farther out, more airflow.

Vent #2, and really the primary vent, is on top of the fly, in front of the brown triangle on top of the fly. This is a standard "velcro stick" type vent, and is adjustable.

Overall, you're going to have zero issues with airflow and condensation if you guy this thing properly. And that's from someone who has camped nearly a dozen rainy nights in the humid southeast in this exact tent.
